What an awful thing for Lord Darroch, the Ex-ambassador to USA to say on ##TrevorPhillips

"If you are looking legally as to whether #Palestine meets the criteria of being a state: is there a permanent stable government; is there recognised and established borders; does that government have control over its whole territory; can it conduct diplomatic reactions, you have to say Palestine fails.

This definition was lampooned in #Joyce's #Ulysses

"What is it? says John Wyse. —A nation? says Bloom. A nation is the same people living in the same place. —By God, then, says Ned, laughing, if that’s so I’m a nation for I’m living in the same place for the past five years."
